A Weekend Woven with Stillness, Roaring Cheers, and a Final Flourish of Football Glory!
The tapestry of the weekend unfurled with a gentle, almost hesitant start on Saturday. The air hung heavy and still over the United Kingdom, pregnant with the unspoken promise of summer's full embrace. While the sun played coy, peeking intermittently through a soft veil of cloud, its warmth was undeniable, a subtle pressure against the skin that spoke of longer, brighter days to come. It was on this quietly optimistic morning that my eldest son and I sought the tranquil company of the Gloucester Canal, its waters a long, shimmering ribbon threading through the landscape.
